Chapter 369: Receiving Gifts in a Wanton Manner
I easily got the guests outside, I just drank two glasses of wine, Liu Taoran drank a lot, a little drunk, I was afraid that he would get drunk and make a fool of himself, especially 'handed' Xing Zhiwei took care of Liu Taoran more, and it was best not to let him drink anymore
Back in the hall, Princess Shouyang saw us coming back and ran over, so she had to pull Zihan to the back of the 'hole' room to see if it didn't work, seeing this, Mu Zong couldn't help but smile and said: "Go, you go to the back and have a look, Shouyang, don't mess around, if your master messes up the 'hole' room, see if your father doesn't punish you."
Princess Shouyang made a grimace and said: "Father, I don't mess around, I'm going to the back to see the 'hole' room of the master and the master's wife, don't wait for me to get married, ask the master to arrange the 'hole' room for me."
"The children are thinking about whether they want to leave their father as soon as possible," Mu Zong also said jokingly
"No, my father, Shouyang, just wants to accompany my father, but Shouyang also wants to get married, you see how lively the master's wedding is, and Shouyang will marry a few more people in the future, so that his father will be more lively."
The little princess's words made everyone laugh, and Emperor Mu Zong also smiled and said: "How can children talk, go and play with your master, don't be embarrassed here anymore."
Zihan took a few 'waiters', 'women' and Princess Shouyang to the back of the 'cave' room, this banquet is only left of us old men, Emperor Mu Zong just now because Zihan and Princess Shouyang are still unable to let go, now they are gone, Mu Zong also let go, and said to us: "I am very happy today, I haven't had this good mood for a long time, Zhong Aiqing came to drink, let's drink."
This meal, the sun is about to sink in the west, Emperor Muzong is already drunk, those who come to congratulate him outside have already finished drinking, and they are waiting to go home, but this emperor does not leave, who dares to go, Chen Jiu did not drink, although he gave gifts, but he still stood aside and waited for Emperor Muzong, seeing that the emperor was almost there, Chen Jiu said: "Long live the sun, the sun is about to set, we should drive back to the palace."
Emperor Muzong asked drunkenly: "Is it, how did time pass so quickly, okay, Chen Jiu went to pass the decree, and I was ready to drive back to the palace."
Zhang Juzheng: They also want to end the banquet as soon as possible, no one wants to sweep away the emperor's interest, I am also very anxious, if the emperor is drunk and does not leave, I will have no way to 'hole' the room tonight
Chen Jiu went out to arrange for the emperor's chariot, and I sent the 'waiter' and 'girl' to the back to call the princess and Zihan over, and I don't know what these two people are doing in the back, and this happy day will not come out
After a while, Chen Jiu arranged for the car to drive back, and asked Emperor Mu Zong to drive back to the palace, Mu Zong went out of the courtyard with the support of two eunuchs, and when we arrived outside the big 'gate', we all followed behind and sent out
Emperor Mu Zong was carried into the carriage and poked his head out and said, "Lord Zhang, I am not happy today, and I will fight with you again another day."
In a compliment, Emperor Mu Zong's car drove away slowly, and when the car drove away, these guests who came to congratulate him also said goodbye one after another, and after a while, my family was left, as well as Sun Daocun, Zhang Juzheng, and Liu Taoran were completely drunk, and they had already been helped to the guest room by their families to rest
Zhang Juzheng looked at everyone and said: "Lord Sun has a lot of work for you this time, another day, the old man will set up a family banquet to entertain you, and now I will invite Lord Sun to go in and sit down and drink some tea, and then go back."
"Lord Zhang is polite, it's not too early, it's time for me to go back, you and Lord Lan still have something to discuss, and I'll leave."
After sending Sun Daocun away, Zhang Juzheng returned to the hall and the hall was also cleaned up by his family, I saw that the palace 'women' who were seconded from the palace had not gone back, and the eunuchs had left, so I called Lao Liu over and asked: "Brother Liu, why didn't these people go back to the palace with the emperor?"
"Young master, I don't know about this, I'll ask."
Lao Liu walked up to a palace 'girl' and asked, "Why didn't you go back to the palace with the emperor?"
The 'woman' of the palace looked at Lao Liu and asked herself a blessing and said: "Qiqi housekeeper, we won't go back, we have been sent by the princess to the Lan people's mansion, this is also a gift from the princess to Lan people."
Zhang Juzheng and I could also hear the answer of the 'girl' in the palace, and Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "This Princess Shouyang really thought of it, it's really wonderful."
"Teacher, this is the princess, seeing that I don't have enough people here, I should have this kind of mind, and I can be regarded as having a heart."
"Yes, Yunjie's wedding today is not bad, as a teacher, I have always been worried that those rebels will come to make trouble, but I didn't expect it to be so quiet, but it was unexpected."
"The students are also worried about this, they have been worried, they really didn't expect it to be so good, so that we can hold the wedding peacefully, and it seems that those traitors are also afraid, or they don't dare to do it when they see the guards."
"Regardless of these, it is not easy to send the emperor away safely this time, the people who came to this wedding are not bad, but Gao Gong did not come, this person is too scheming, the emperor is here, he didn't come, and he didn't know what little abacus he played, since the last strike was disturbed by us, he is a lot more honest, I don't know what the hell is in his heart, we still have to be careful."
"Good teacher, we will definitely pay attention to his new movements, no matter what he does, we can deal with it"
"It's not early, Yun Jie is the teacher, it's time to go back, today is your 'hole' room, 'flower' candle night, you should also rest early, tonight I will go back and arrange a banquet for those businessmen, the housekeeper has counted the list of gifts who came to give gifts today, and you and I will go over together."
"Thank you, teacher, students must go over to the banquet, I will also ask Lao Liu to send it to the teacher."
"Let's talk about this later, you are also ready to go down as a teacher and leave first," I took everyone to send Zhang Juzheng out, Zhang Juzheng's family had already prepared to park the sedan chair, just waiting for Zhang Juzheng to return to the house and send Zhang Juzheng away, Lao Liu commanded his family to dismantle the shed outside, and I took Xing Zhiwei and Liu Jinhu back to the hall
After letting a few of them sit down in a chair, I said, "Thank you Lord Liu, Lord Xing and the three brothers for your help, otherwise I would have made a fool of myself today."
"There, Lord Liu is still doing more than us, you see Lord Liu is drunk."
"Brother Liu, don't go back to the three of you, let's continue to drink here tonight, I don't have a lot of fun watching a few brothers today."
"Forget it, Brother Lan, you still want to 'hole' room and 'flower' candle night today, we will get you drunk, the bride will not scold us to death, we will dare to come in the future, and we will go back in a while, we can't delay your good life," the two of them also agreed, saying okay
After talking for a while, he sent Liu Jinhu and the three away, leaving me and Xing Zhiwei, he can't go, I still have a lot of things to do tomorrow, and he and Liu Taoran have been living in my guest room for the past few days
At this time, Lao Liu also came in and brought me all the gift lists for today, Xing Zhiwei also participated in the registration, but in the final statistics, he did not participate, and he didn't know how many gifts he received today
When I opened the gift register, I just took a cursory look at the most critical back pages in front of me, and saw that the numbers on the general statistical table at the back were down, and I jumped that there were more than 160 military attachés and 'guards', more than 50 merchants, and more than 80 total gifts: "The silver ticket civil official is 23,400 taels, 1,800 pieces of silk, more than 500 pieces of jewelry, 230 pieces of 'jade' utensils such as 'jade' and 'jade' bi, 12,000 taels of silver tickets for military attachés, 150 pieces of jewelry, and 560 pieces of silk and satin." Thirty pieces of jade, 25,000 taels of silver, 200 pieces of jewelry, 1,000 pieces of silk and 50 pieces of jade
I was also shocked to see so many gifts, if it was converted into silver, no less than 100,000 taels, not to mention the courtyard given by the emperor and Chen Jiu's things, I really didn't expect that my income would be so large when I got married
"Brother Liu, where are these gifts placed to prevent fires or something?"
"Don't worry, young master, I've arranged the two sheds outside, which are special 'doors' to store gifts, silver tickets, jewelry and 'jade' utensils, and those silk are too large, I'm afraid it's too eye-catching, and I'll bring them in when it's dark."
"Okay, Brother Liu thought thoughtfully, where is the house that the emperor rewarded?"
"The house that the young master and the emperor rewarded is near our ya' gate, this is the title deed, you can take a look," said Lao Liu, handing me the title deed
I opened the title deed and saw that the scale of this house was as big as the ya' gate of our Xiao Cai Mansion, but across the street, it seemed that the emperor had also put a lot of thought into it, but no matter where it was, I didn't want to live in it, because most of the emperor's mansion was raided and fried, and I lived in it, and there was a 'yin' shadow in my heart, and besides, my house had just been cleaned up, and it was close to the Wei Mansion, and there was anything to take care of
I folded the title deed and handed it to Lao Liu and said: "Brother Liu has been busy for a few days, you go to the new house to take a look, clean it up, divide it into a few more courtyards, and when it is cleaned up, you will go and take Lord Liu's family over, but you can't tell Lord Liu in advance, Lord Xing, you can also move over, so it is also convenient, I see that you are too far away from the Ya 'Gate', and it is inconvenient to go back and forth every day, in the future, this is the family home of our Ya 'Gate', Brother Liu, don't forget to prepare a house for Sui Jian's 'Chun' and 'Chun' Lan' Before the Spring Festival, let them also get married, it's not a big deal, it's not a matter to drag it out like this, besides, Sui Jian's 'Spring' is also an official now, and it can be regarded as a success, and now it's enough to get married."
"Young master, is this suitable, this is the emperor's reward for you, what if those imperial histories are looking for trouble again," Lao Liu was also frightened by the thorns of those imperial histories, so he asked
